You can pick up various boosters during the game that help increase your health along with providing you with a speed buff. In Battlegrounds most boosters can only heal you up to 75%, though some can help fill a Boost Bar that helps you replenish your health over time along with granting increased movement speed. Keep an eye on the icons above the Boost Bar — the orange bar that appears above your health — to see which buffs you have unlocked. Here’s what each of these items do:

Bandages

These small health items help heal a minimal amount of your HP.

First Aid Kits

Heals you up to 75%.

Med Kits

The rarest and most useful booster in the game, the Med Kit heals you up to 100%.

Energy Drink

Can heal you above the 75% mark while also increased the Boost Bar by 40.

Painkillers

Like the Energy Drink, Painkillers can also heal the player above the 75% mark and raise the Boost Bar by 60.
